She mostly visit the dojo and even like by the students there. After done with their training, Hyuga and Katsumi head back home, but encountering a rampaging robot which they dealt with. But then, a new feeling blossoming between them.

(Kurohime's Room)

Her room is quite small but enough for her, and it filled with black, blue and white items inside. On her bed, Kurohime's face is sweating and her face showing pain expression.

Kurohime: Papa... Mama... No... No...

In her dream, it shows little Kurohime is hiding under the desk while hugging her teddy bear, trembling in fear as if she is hiding from something. When little Kurohime look out of the desk, she saw her parents on the ground, lying dead. Then she saw someone ahead, and when the person turn around, she saw a murderous and scary looking smile. Back in reality, her eyes shot open as she breath heavily. Kurohime slowly sit up and wipe the sweat from her forehead.

Kurohime: Another dream... Why do it have to come again and again?

She take slowly inhale and exhale her breath, trying to calm herself down.

*knocking*

Hyuga: Kuro-chan, wake up. Breakfast is almost done.

She can hear Hyuga calling from the other side of the door.

Kurohime: O-Okay!

She hear Hyuga walk away, before Kurohime think about her purpose in trying to get closer to Hyuga.

Kurohime: Maybe... this wasn't the best idea after all.

She went to the bathroom and wash herself before she join the others in their breakfast.

(Streets)

At the streets of S-City, Hyuga and Kurohime gone out for a patrol across their city. Greed got a call from the Hero Association saying that they need a free Class S hero, so he just go to get some fun. Lokky stay at home while continuing his work in polishing Palades, and his other sword collection.

Hyuga: Another boring day of patrol.

Kurohime: ...

While walking, Hyuga realize that Kurohime has been awfully quiet in the past few weeks. Not that she is a talking type, but she don't really quiet when around Hyuga.

Hyuga: Hey, Kuro-chan. Kuro-chan!

Kurohime: Huh? *look at Hyuga* Wh-What?

Hyuga: What's up with you? In the last few days, you've been quiet all the time.

Kurohime: W-Well... I...

Hyuga: If you have any problem, then just share it with me, Lokky and even Greed. We're all listen to each others' problem.

Kurohime: *look away* My problem is nothing of your concern.

Hyuga: Don't me like that. I try to be nice with you all the time.

Kurohime: Then don't when I don't want any comfort.
